Why It’s Weird to Have Egg on Your Face
The common phrase means “to look extremely foolish”, and this is why I think it is weird.
- Because it shouldn’t be on your face
- It should be underneath a chicken
- It’s a ridiculously obscure metaphor
- There are a thousand better metaphors you could use
- Who decided that it was a good metaphor?
- If you say use the metaphor in conversation with someone who is unfamiliar with the phrase then you will look like a lunatic
- Why an egg?
- Why not a foetus?
- How did it get there?
- Is there bacon, too?
- Saying it is probably more humiliating than what caused you to say it in the first place
- You should be more worried about getting the egg off your face than talking about it being there
- Is it possible to remove the egg?
- If not, could you pay someone to remove it?
- Are you more or less attractive to the opposite sex if you have egg on your face?
- Could you function in normal society if it proved impossible to remove the egg?
- Can anyone get egg on their face, or just particularly unfortunate people?
- What form is the egg in? An uncooked egg, retaining its shell and defying gravity (unless you are lying down), is even more weird than a fried or raw egg
- Is it possible to eat the egg?
- If not, what would happen if you did?
- Would it be possible to use the egg as an ingredient to make other things?
- What is more embarrassing than having egg on your face?
